Monthly Events

An Invitation to Come Home to Yourself.

Welcome to the Sankofa Events page.


At Sankofa, every month is an invitation to come hOMe to yourself.​ Each month, we curate intentional events that nourish the mind, body, and spirit — from yoga and movement to mindfulness and connection.

 

Every experience is thoughtfully designed to align with the themes of our upcoming Winter Retreat, offering you a taste of the transformation to come.​ Explore what’s on this month below — and if you’re ready to go deeper, click here to join the Winter Retreat waitlist.

December

Unwind

A Refuge of Tea, Meditation,
and Creative Pause

Saturday | December 13, 2025 | 6:00PM - 8:00PM

Settle in for an evening of quiet connection and spacious unwinding as the year winds down. We’ll begin by sharing tea—an invitation to arrive fully, slow your breath, and soften into the present moment. From there, we’ll move into a guided meditation to ground the body and open the heart.

​

Afterward, the space becomes yours to explore. Bring your own creative crafts, journaling practice, knitting, or simply enjoy low-key coloring materials provided. Or use the space to just relax. This is a time for unhurried creativity—no expectations, no pressure, just a supportive space to drift, make, reflect, or simply be.

​

We’ll close with a short meditation to gather what unfolded and return to ourselves with clarity and ease.

​

This gathering is for anyone needing a soft landing, a creative pause, or a moment of rest held in community. Come as you are. A variety of tea will be available to explore. Bring your favorite mug to sip from, along with your creative craft.

Led by Shawn J. Moore. Click here to learn more about, Shawn.

Grounding
by the Fire

A Winter Solstice Experience

Sunday | December 21, 2025 | 5:00PM - 8:00PM

On the longest night of the year, we gather — not just to reflect, but to celebrate. This Winter Solstice, join us for the second edition of Grounding by the Fire — a cozy, heart-centered evening where reflection meets celebration.


Gather around the flames as we sip craft beer, hard cider, and kombucha from local makers. Enjoy roasted marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate (yes, s’mores!) while sharing stories and laughter under the winter sky. Together, we’ll mark the Solstice — honoring the light within and the turning of a new season.
 

A familiar warmth. A deeper grounding. A night to connect, release, and restore.
